OpenCable™ — Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS™)
Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS™) offers a cost-effective, network-agnostic solution for interactive two-way devices that connect to cable systems, allowing cable operators to download their conditional access system(s) of choice to devices connected to the cable network.
DCAS is designed to operate with interactive cable set-top boxes as well as integrated DTVs (digital televisions with built-in set-top capabilities), and other retail devices that include a special chip. The DCAS Host License Agreement is available to any consumer electronics manufacturer on a nondiscriminatory basis.
DCAS Host License Agreement (amendment adding DTCP-IP, subject to final review — 08/23/07).

When so outputting or passing such content to a DTCP-IP output, the Licensed Product is required to: (a) process and pass to the DTCP Source Function all valid DTCP System Renewability Messages (“SRM”) received via ATSC A/98; and (b) map the copy control information (CCI) to the DTCP Encryption Mode Indicator (EMI), DTCP Analog Protection System (APS) signaling, DTCP Image Constraint Token (ICT), and DTCP Encryption Plus Non-assertion (EPN) signaling in accordance with mapping to be set forth in an amendment to the Compliance Rules. Capitalized terms used in this Section, but not otherwise defined in the Agreement, shall have the meaning set forth in the DTCP Specification or the DTCP Adopter Agreement.
